Sakura

Sakura has more syllables than most dog names, but you can easily give your pup a nickname to shorten things. The name also ends in a vowel sound, so it's easy for dogs to recognize. Sakura isn't one of the most common names, so your dog will certainly stand out. If you love the name, you should pick it!
